			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those of you with good english grammar may think I have committed the cardinal sin of a double negative above, but no, I simply mean I have no time for nothing anymore.  There were days, in what now seems to be a previous life, when I could simply do nothing from time to time.  While taking the dog for a walk I could sit for half an hour on a bridge playing pooh sticks with the pup in the water catching the twigs as they appeared the other side.  Now she gets her allocated 45 minutes twice a day, briskly walking to get the maximum exercise in the least possible time &#8211; and at other times there simply is no time for doing nothing.  My &#8216;to do&#8217; list gets longer as I try to sneak just one more task into the day, my &#8216;tasks done&#8217; list falls miserably short of being completed at any time in the near future.</p>
<p>Do we all strive for an easier life?  If that is the case why do we all find ourselves getting increasingly more busy as time goes on?  Is it that we take on more things to do or do the things we do take longer for some reason?  I have set myself a task &#8211; having spent yesterday in the garden, a lot of that time doing nothing, I have pledged to put time aside for me from now on.  The AC adapter on the laptop decided to stop working yesterday so I could not check my e.mails, e.bay sales, catch up on blogs, write my posts, service my shop websites.  I had a whole Sunday for me (and the dog, of course!)  It was bliss.  I had long hours of sitting with coffee in the sun, did a bit of gardening, took the dog for a walk, cooked lunch, had long hours of sitting in the garden with coffee&#8230;  Really blissful.</p>
<p>Do yourself a great favour &#8211; write &#8216;ME TIME&#8217; into your working week.  Don&#8217;t skimp on it.  It will make you feel seriously good!</p>
